Kushner's voting information showed he was registered to vote as a woman

The Board of Elections updated Kushner's gender information

Washington (CNN)The New York State Board of Elections acknowledged in a news report published Thursday that President Donald Trump's son-in-law and senior adviser, Jared Kushner, registered to vote as a male despite being listed as a woman previously.

Board of Elections executive director Michael Ryan confirmed to The New York Daily News that the board made the error, not Kushner.

Kushner, who is married to Trump's eldest daughter, Ivanka Trump, has been under fire lately for occasionally using a private email account for correspondence with fellow administration officials, his lawyer, Abbe Lowell, confirmed to CNN on Sunday.
